The VIDI research group led by Professor Kwan-Liu Ma has introduced many novel approaches to visualizing scientific data at extreme scale through its participation in the DOE SciDAC (Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing) program. Several software prototypes are made available here for demonstrating some of the new concepts and capabilities.

SOFTWARE
